Cyclist Test Result

The Linux kernel is a very complicated piece of software, so it is not always easy to prove the exact latency characteristics of a given system. Usually, the latencies also highly depend on the workload and selected kernel configuration. The combination of these and many other parameters are endless, but practical measurements can give a good insight into latencies that would also be experienced in practical real-world applications.

This chapter presents the latency measurement results of this thesis. First, in General Functionality, the general functionality of the measurement systems is discussed. Then, in Latency Measurements, the measured latency table and relevant characteristic numbers are given from both kernels.
